Cara Menangani Sampel Merpati Balap

Instruction on Handling Racing Pigeon Samples

• Wear protective gear: Put on latex gloves.
• Disinfection: Spray both hands with disinfectant alcohol for complete disinfection. Allow the alcohol to dry.
• Labeling: Use a marker to label the clean self-sealing bag with the pigeon’s information (misalnya, owner’s name, leg band number).
• Feather Collection: Select slightly thicker feathers from the pigeon’s tail (avoiding tail feathers) or the chest and abdomen. Quickly pluck a small bunch (preferably 5–6 or more feathers). Place the feathers into the clean self-sealing bag.

           Please do not collect naturally fallen feathers, feathers with minimal shafts, or down feathers for submission.

• Handling: Avoid touching the feather shafts. Do not collect naturally fallen feathers, feathers with minimal shafts, or down feathers.
